Mommy! Mommy! Look what I found! What is it sweetie? I found a horse out in the woods all alone; she looks lonely mommy can we keep her?
"Elaine wake up"
Elaine opens her eyes to see Yori standing in front of her in a riding suit. Physical education at Cross Academy consists of things like horse-back riding lessons. But it appears that there may be only be one horse left.
"You fell asleep so there is only one horse left"
"Which one?"
"White lily the wild horse. So use your guts and ride"
" If you look away she will kick you"
"Okay. Easy there girl"
All of a sudden White lily goes wild and kicks Elaine in the butt and runs off.
"TEACHER WHITE LILY RAN AWAY"
"Ow my butt"
White lily runs off and coming up in the distance is a tree where Zero is sleeping
"Your ruining my nap."
"Watch out Kiryu!"
As White lily the wild horse jumps over Zero he grabs the reins and jumps on top of White Lily.
"Lily. Calm down its all right"
"Kiryu"
"Kiryu is amazing. He calmed down White lily AKA: the wild horse of the devil"
"Darn those night class guys"
"They treat us like fools"
"No wonder Kiryu is the only one that can stare at Kaname Kuran without fear"
"What got into her? She usually is nice and calm"
"She must of sensed something that she didn't like"
Inside the moon dorms…..
"Well that sure was surprising"
"Do herbivores really hate our smell that much? What do you think Kaname? Even on our day off you still are writing reports for the senate. Well I'm off to read more manga"
"Ichijo"
"What do you need me to do Kaname"
Inside the headmasters office Roselle is talking to the headmaster about leaving campus with Elaine to look for dresses and a present for her mother.
" Elaine and I need to go to town to look for dresses for the talent and I need to buy a birthday present for my mother since her birthday is in a few days"
" That's alright but you have to come back before curfew"
" Thanks headmaster!"
Fast forward a few hours…
" The dresses we picked out are really nice don't you think Elaine"
" I hate dresses but I guess I have no choice"
" At least the headmaster let us come here"
"OOH what is that?"
Roselle sees a celtic cross in a store window and runs off to look at it. Elaine turns around to see that Roselle has run off. As Elaine is walking around town alone she senses an ominous presence. As she is looking for Roselle she cuts her arm on a branch in an alleyway. All of a sudden a vampire jumps out of nowhere. Elaine reaches for her gun but realizes that she does not have it.
" Crap I don't have my gun
" Your blood smells good"
"I should run now
Meanwhile Roselle turns around to see that Elaine is not there. As she is looking for Elaine she gets the feeling that someone is following her. She turns around to see someone with a knife giving her an evil look.
" You Roselle O'Connor"
"Yes"
" That's all I need to know"
The stranger runs towards with a clear intent to harm Roselle. Roselle turns around runs. The girls run into each other in a clearing.
"Why are you running Roselle"
" Some guy trying to kill me. I think my ex-boyfriend sent him as a hit man to kill me"
"Uh okay"
" Why are you running"
" Some wacko vampire wants my blood. I don't have my gun though".
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Both the level E and the stranger with the knife corner the girls separately when two figures slash them in half. Roselle looks up to see that the two figures were Kaname and Zero, Yuki walks up as well as she was in town shopping with Zero.
"Are you okay Roselle"
"Well some guy just tried to stab me and I'm sure my crazy ex-boyfriend sent him. I'm almost not surprised that obsessive jerk"
Kaname gives her a strange look as she has not told anyone much about her previous ex-boyfriend and arranged marriage that had a nasty break up.
" I'm okay though he didn't hurt me"
"What about you Elaine are you alright why didn't you kill it?"
" I forgot my gun okay. Like I knew that I was going to get attacked by a crazed vampire"
"That crazed vampire was a level E"
Ichijo and Shiki walk up as they were originally sent to kill the level E vampire.
"Oh whatever"
Everyone else walks away but Kaname stops Roselle to talk to her.
"What do you want Kaname"
"Tell about this man"
"It's nothing Kaname. It was four years ago he just won't get over it that's all"
"Are you sure"
"I'm not trying to be rude but I really don't want to talk about it"
They walk back up to catch up with the group with tensions high and feelings higher.
Why is it that Roselle doesn't want to talk about her ex-boyfriend, what deep secret is she hiding from everyone, and of all people, Kaname. Why did Elaine forget her gun? And why did she lose her cool around Zero when she usually has herself under control? Find out next time in Love Brings Strength chapter 7.
